Welcome to another installment of Country Club Conversations.
In the spotlight for this episode is John Mullerーseasoned real estate maven and partner at Skyline Commercial Real Estate and Diversified Real Estate Group, with over 470,000 square footage of realty under management.
Join us as we dive into the grassroots story of John’s high school lawn care business, his decision to boldly step away from college to pursue real estate dreams, and explore his transition from home rehabs to building custom homes to investing and thriving in commercial properties.
John imparts actionable insights into establishing excellent property management in commercial ventures, navigating the impact of the pandemic on office space tenancies, and the value of creating high-value associations. We get the insider’s look at ensuring that family remains a priority even with a budding business, finding joy and giving back to the community, and are left with a golden hole-in-one that emphasizes the power of patience for cultivating a thriving real estate empire.
Thank you for tuning in for an episode that promises to elevate and inspire!
